Hans (John) the third child of Wil- liam Hendricks, married Sarah Mosier, and died March 25, 1789, aged 89 years, according to his headstone in yard of Marlboro Brick church. His wife is interred by him and date of her death given as March 31, 1782, aged 80 years, 24 days. On page 86 of Wells' address her name is spelled "Sarah Meser" and she became a communicant in 1731. John Hendricks, as 'he wrote his name, made his will May 18, 1785, proved April 15, 1789, and is on record in Trenton in Book 30 of Wills, page 178, etc. He or- ders his executors to sell his land at Imlaystown, Upper Freehold township, and one half of his mill where his son, Abraham Hendricks, now lives in that township, and all other lands owned by him. He gives his old Dutch Bible and £10 to his son Abraham. He mentions his granddaughter Charlotte, and four children of his deceased son William. He also mentions his grandsons, Jacob and John Vanderbilt, children of his deceased daughter Elizabeth. He speaks of two children of his son Conradt, ap- points his son Abraham Hendricks, and his two grandsons, Jacob and John Vanderbilt, executors. The will is wit- nessed by Mary Vanderbilt and Lewis Forman. Seven of the children of John Hendricks and Sarah Mosier, his wife, are buried in the yard of the old Brick church at Marlboro. All have the Hen- dricks surname. Some of his descend- ants removed to Easton, Pa., and to Rockingham and other counties in Vir- ginia.


By Sarah Mosier he had the following children:


Johannes, baptized April 8, 1733, mar- ried, according to the license granted October 31, 1759, Phoebe Smith, and died, according to his headstone, July 13, 1760, aged 28 years, 5 months, 1 day. His will is dated July 2, 1760, proved July 26, 1760, and recorded at Trenton in Book 9 of wills, page 258, etc. He described himself as a resident of Mid- dlesex county, New Jersey. I think it was in that part of Middlesex county taken off in 1838 to form Mercer county. He mentions his wife Phoebe, but had no children. He gives his brother Wil- liam, six shirts and two beaver hats, and to his brother Guisbert (Gilbert) the remainder of his wearing apparel. He also mentions his brother-in-law, John Vanderbilt. The will is witnessed by John Hendricks, Andrew Forman and Lewis Forman. This John Hen- dricks, the witness, 1 think was a son


of Gilbert Hendrickson and Elizabeth Polhemus, his wife, already mentioned, and residing in what was Nottingham township, Burlington county, but now Ewing township, Mercer county.


Elizabeth, baptized August 25, 1734, married according to license dated May 20, 1754, and recorded in office of Sec- retary of State at Trenton, N. J., John Vanderbilt of Staten Island, N. Y., and died August 13, 1760, aged 26 years, 1 month, 13 days, according to her head- stone in Brick church cemetery. She left two sons, who are the executors named in her father's will made 25 years later, or in 1785. Under this will they sold and conveyed away his real estate, as appears from deeds recorded in Monmouth Clerk's office.


William, baptized December 25, 1736, married, according to license granted December 21, 1756, Charity Robinson of Monmouth county and died before his father, leaving four children surviving. One child named Charity, died Decem- ber 23, 1761, and is buried in Brick church cemetery with a headstone giv- ing her name and age. He also had a son John, baptized November 19, 1757, who was his firstborn. As no others are buried in Brick church yard it is likely that they removed to some other place or colony.


Conradt, baptized August 27, 1738, married first, according to license dated June 18, 1759, Mary English. She died October 26, 1762, aged 27 years, leaving one daughter, Elizabeth, baptized at Tennent church November 22, 1761. He married for his second wife Mary Knott. This license is dated June 17, 1763. During the Revolution he sided with the King and enlisted in the com- pany raised by Capt. Thomas Crowell which served in the battalion under Col. Elisha Lawrence, the ex-sheriff or last of the Kings' Sheriffs in Monmouth county. This battalion was in Skinner's Brigade and was stationed much of the time on Staten Island. On page 12 of Book A of Executions in the Monmouth Clerk's office is record of an execution issued May 1, 1779, against Thomas Crowell of Middletown township who had been found guilty under an inquis- ition of joining the King's army. On the next page, No. 13, is record of an execution against Conradt Hendricks, who had also joined the King's army. The real estate of these men was sold under these executions. They, how- ever, never returned to this county, so far as I can learn. They may have removed to Nova Scotia.


Guisbert (Gilbert), baptized May 21, 1741, died single March 25, 1785, aged

44 years, 1 month, 2 days, according to his headstone in Brick church cemetery at Marlboro.


Mary, baptized April 7, 1744, married Thomas Hendricks, who, I think, resid- ed somewhere near Hopewell, N. J. She died November 5, 1768, aged 24 years, according to her headstone in Brick church cemetery. Her husband is not buried in this yard and I do not know what became of him or whether she left any children.


Sarah, baptized June 28, 1747, died single February 28, 1772.


Abraham, born -- , married, accord- ing to license dated December 17, 1754, Mary, daughter of William Wyckoff and Agnes VanDoren, his wife. She was born October 1, 1733, and died February 12, 1796, and is buried in Briek church cemetery. Abraham Hendricks may have been the oldest of the eight ehil- dren of John Hendricks, but there is no record of his birth or baptism unless the "Old Dutch Bible," which his father mentions in his will, be found. Neither do I know where Abraham died or where he was buried. He seems to have resided in Upper Freehold and run a grist mill at or near Imlaystown or Allentown. During the Revolution he was an earnest and energetie patriot and a soldier.


I have no information or knowledge of his children, if any. His father's selection of him as executor and gift of family Bible to him leads me to think he was the oldest son. Jannetje, the fourth child of William Hendricks and Willaimpe Laen, his wife, married Christopher Warmsley, and moved to some other part of New Jersey or some other colony. She had, however, three of her children baptized in our Dutch church while visiting her parents, viz: William, baptized May 3, 1719, and two others unnamed, one October 25, 1724, and the other April 16, 1732.


Hendrick, the fifth child of William Hendricks, was born Novemher 11, 1706. married about 1728, Altje, daughter of Albert Couwenhoven and Neiltje Schanek, his wife, and died July 28. 1783, aged 76 years, 8 months, 6 days. His wife was born January 20, 1709. Her father and mother are both buried in


Schanek-Couwenhoven yard, and dates of their deaths from headstone inscriptions show that the printed state- ments heretofore given are incorrect. Albert Couwenhoven died September 13, 1748, aged 72 years, 9 months, and 6 days. Neiltje Schanek, his wife, died July 27, 1751, aged 70 years, 6 months, and 4 days. Hendriek Hendrickson and Aeltje Couwenhoven, his wife, had two sons baptized in the Dutch church, viz:


Hendriek, June 20, 1730, and Albert. July 16, 1732. There may have been other children born and not baptized. Hendrick, according to license granted April, 1751, married Sarah Tomson or Thompson. Both are put down as res- idents of Middletown township. They had the following children baptized: Hendrick, May 3, 1752; William, Feb- ruary 26, 1757; Albert, July 8, 1759; Arrinthia, September 6, 1761. Albert, the second son of Hendrick, married, according to license dated January 3. 1755, Johanna Mills. Both are named as residents of Monmouth. This couple had the following children:


Hendrick, born June 27, 1756; Altje. born July 12, 1758, Elaxander Clark, as his christian name is spelled on church records, and had seven children bap- tized between 1776 and 1794, viz: Re- becca, November 29, 1761; Catherine. September 21, 1766; Mary, August 25, 1768: Nelly, February 3, 1777; John. February 3, 1777; William, February 3, 1777; Sarah, April 22, 1778. I do not know of any of the male descendants of Hendrick Hendrickson and Altje Couwenhoven, his wife, now residing in Monmouth county. I think some of them settled in Gloucester and Salem counties and others removed to New York and Pennsylvania. Daniel, the youngest son of William Hendrickson and Willaimpe Laen, his wife, is so named in his will and is also named in the will of his uncle, Daniel Hendrieks, published heretofore in full. He re- moved from this county.


I find Daniel Hendrickson running a grist mill on the Millstone river, in Somerset county, N. J., in the year 1741. This may be the same person. His grandfather, Hendricks Hendrickson, / with Peter Cortelyou, Stoffel Probasco, Theodore Polhemus, Hendrick Lott, Jaeques Cortelyou, Dionje Denyse, and Cornelius Wyckoff, purchased in 1701, of John Harrison ten thousand acres of land in Franklin township, Somerset county, N. J. This land extended from Millstone river over to the old Indian path which ran from the falls of the Delaware River across New Jersey to a point about three miles from the mouth of the Raritan river. Here the river was crossed and the path ran over to Mount Pleasant and from there lo Crawford's Corner, and from there over the hills by the residence of Daniel Hendricks, the pioneer settler to Ruck- man's Hills at Middletown village, and here intersected the old Indian path from Freehold to the bay shore and to Sandy Hook.


The eight purchasers divided this tract into eight . parts. Now Daniel

Hendrickson, the youngest son of Wil- liam, had an opportunity to learn the miller's business in his father's mill on Mahoras brook, heretofore mentioned. His uncle Daniel, left him by will a small lot of land at Perth Amboy. This would indicate that Daniel had removed to this town or vicinity at the mouth of the Raritan river. His grandfather, Hendrick, owned lands on the Millstone River which afforded a good site for grist mills, a business which he under- stood. Neither is Daniel Hendricks, the youngest son of William, named in any of our county records after the probate of his uncle Daniel's will. There is a probability from these considerations that the miller of this name on the Mill- stone river in 1741 may have been this man.


This concludes the family records of some of the Dutch settlers of Monmouth county. I have not written these arti- cles to gratify any foolish family pride or vanity, or to instill notions of super- iority; for "birth is an accident," and transmits neither brains nor virtues of parents to children. The plodding, in- dustrious, and economical habits of our Low Dutch ancestors are worthy of re- membrance and imitation. Their ardent love of liberty, independence, and truth was a mighty factor in the establish- ment of this great Republic. Their des- cendants are bound by every principle of right and duty to carry forward their beneficent work, until mankind is freed from caste kings, priests and all other forms of hereditary bondage or oppres- sion. The following lines by Lowell express the truth:


"Let those who will, claim gentle birth, And take their pride in Norman blood, The purest ancestry on earth,


Must find its spring in Adam's mud.


And all, though noble now or base, From the same level took their rise,


And side by side with loving grace, Leaped crystal clear from Paradise.


"Among our sires no high born chief, Freckled his hands with peasants' gore ; No spurred or coronetted thief, Set his mailed heel upon the poor. No! We are come of a purer line, With nobler hearts within the breast ;


Large hearts, by suffering made divine We draw our lineage from the oppressed.


"There's not a great soul gone before. That is not mentioned in our clan, Who, when the world took side with power, Stood boldly on the side of man. All hero spirits plain and grand, Who for ages ope the door.


All labor's dusky monarchs stand


Among the children of the poor.


"Let others boast of ancestors, Who handed down some legal right, To stand behind their tyrant's horse. Or buckle his spurs before the fight. We, too, have our ancestral claims Of marching in the van ; Of giving ourselves to steel and flame. When aught is to be achieved for man.


"And is not this a family tree. Worth keeping up from age to age ; Was ever such ancestry Gold-blazoned on the herald's page ?


In old Monmouth let us still, Maintain our race and title pure,


The men and women of heart and will, The people who endure."
